Liverpool's star forward, Mohamed Salah, is enjoying a sensational season, and football legend Rio Ferdinand believes the Egyptian winger is the clear favorite to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or. Salah's incredible form has seen him score 30 goals and provide 22 assists in just 39 appearances across all competitions, making him a standout performer in world football.
Ferdinand, speaking on TNT Sports, praised Salah's consistency and impact, stating, "Right now, I don’t think there’s anyone else on the podium with him." Salah's contributions have propelled Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table and into the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, further solidifying his case for the prestigious individual award.
However, Ferdinand also acknowledged that the race for the Ballon d'Or could intensify as the Champions League progresses. He pointed out that players like Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Jude Bellingham could emerge as strong contenders if their teams excel in the latter stages of the competition. "It comes down to moments in big games," Ferdinand remarked, emphasizing the importance of standout performances in high-stakes matches.
Salah's remarkable season has not only earned him admiration from pundits but also from fans and teammates who recognize his dedication and skill. As Liverpool continues to chase silverware on multiple fronts, Salah's performances will undoubtedly play a crucial role in their success.
The 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony is set to take place later this year, and if Salah maintains his current form, he could become the first Liverpool player to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001. For now, the football world watches in anticipation as Salah continues to dazzle on the pitch, making his case for the ultimate individual accolade.
